The Science of Fictions

Closing Night

Texas Premiere

A man (actor Gunawan Maryanto) in Indonesia witnesses the faking of the moon landing in 1965, also the year of the Communist purge of Indonesia and Suharto's take over of the country. His tongue is cut off and he copes perhaps by moving through life in a slow moon walking trance, ultimately invited to join a traveling dance trope. A meditation on trauma, avoidance, hypocrisy, fear, resilience and creativity, and the many manifestations of truthiness.
